In 1997, the College of Sciences and Mathematics established the STEM Summer Bridge Program to assist students that are underrepresented in STEM fields with academic and social support to excel with the rigorous COSAM curriculum. This 4-week residential program for highly motivated students takes place on the main campus of Auburn University and emphasizes academic preparedness, development and enhancement of study and time management skills. The program provides financial support including room, board, and instructional materials during the program. Participants are responsible for transportation to and from Auburn University. The STEM Summer Bridge Program provides an opportunity for participants to:

Enhance their science and math skills

Develop/improve critical and analytical thinking skills

Engage in professional development and career awareness activities

Network with COSAM faculty, staff, and students as well as campus partners

Requirements for student participation:

Any member of a traditionally underrepresented group in STEM including but not limited to: ethnic minority groups, students from rural areas, first generation students, and women.
